          who were older, bigger and stronger. The irony of it was that this was
          supposed to be a superior school and my parents were paying it! All I
          could do was wonder how the hell this happened. Grammar school;
          junior high; and now high school. When was this going to end? Was this
          what high school was going to be like? A continuation of the s*#t-fest
          that was grammar school and junior high? I was really demoralized.

          It was time to take a stand. That night after the bus episode with the

          upperclassmen I told my parents I was not going to that private school.
          I stood up to them and refused. To my great relief they agreed and
          actually supported my decision. I never went back. I went to public high
          school and never regretted my decision.

          Things hadn’t gone well that summer, but I was absolutely determined
          to make some changes. I had had enough. No one was going to do this
          to me again. I had MOTIVATION and a GOAL.
